Tear jerking movies

AlphabetCards

Right AH, the missus has fecked off, and the isolation of quarantine is getting to me; I'm repulsed by alcohol and I can't seem to feel any emotions. Give me a solid tear jerker movie so that I can feel something.

Something along the lines of Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator or what not. I'm not good at movies so there might be some obvious titles that will fit the bill.

Feisar

My Sister's Keeper
Marley and Me

Onward.
Though it's a kid's movie

Church on Tuesday

The Omen.

Not necessarily sad. Figured emotional response was the aim.

Braveheart (end scene always gets me going)
Michael Collins (similar feeling)
road to perdition
Fury
We were soldiers

The Godfather (Part 2)

Band of brothers (has a variety of scenes/episodes which can be emotional as you become more attached to characters)

Stand by me.
Breakfast club

The Theory of everything.

Unforgiven
The good, the bad, and the ugly. (music is incredible)
Open range
Once upon a time in the West.

Wall-E

RocketRaccoon

The green Mile

JohnnyFlash

The opening 15 minutes of UP.

Stop Pixar.

pjohnson

The Mist?

The ending is upsetting.

RedXIV

End of avengers Endgame hit me like a ton of bricks. I think it's a parental thing though. But a lot of sniffing and throat clearing in the cinema when watching that.

Mac-Chops

War type movies: The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Bio/Drama: Lion

Duckjob

Ending scene of Gladiator was designed to make grown men cry:

"Go to them...."

Watched that before, didn't do it for me. Maybe I'm a bit cynical but it was too over the top for me to buy into it.

I cried when Godzilla died in the disastrous 1998 movie. In my defence, I was only 8.

TheIrishGrover

But if you don't at least sniff then you are dead inside

Not before a fry though.

Lol red dog is traumatizing tears.

Rudy, is good tears!

two wheels good

Dr Zhivago
Before Sunrise
The Piano
Cold War (subtitled)

..but especially Dr Zhivago

FortuneChip

Not a movie, but just give in to the craziness of The Leftovers.
The acting, and soundtrack will have you an absolute mess.

Arrival is also a gut-punch of a movie.

AlphabetCards

you guys are good. Lots of stuff to get through this evening!

Cantona's Collars

Haitchi. Leaves Marley and Me in it's dust.

If I'd have been making Marley and Me, it'd been 15 minutes long, he'd have been sent to the "farm in the country".

hermano

Warrior. Should be on Netflix

emo72

"Grave Of The Fireflies". That destroyed many a childhood. Can still hear my daughter " but Da it's a cartoon..... It's meant to be happy.....

Prefect_1998

The fly 2......

neddynasty

Not a movie but After Life on Netflix. It's Ricky Gervais series. You'll be laughing and 30 seconds later welling up.

SEPT 23 1989

Field of Dreams

storker

Probably odd choices but...

Raising Arizona (Hi's dream at the end)

Steve Jobs (The scene on the rooftop with Lisa)

The Raging Bile Duct

The king of them all is Dear Zachary. A documentary that needs to be seen without knowing anything about it just to get the full punch in the guts.

The only Film I remember actually bawling at was Terminator 2. I was certainly less than 10 years old granted but I don't think any film has upset as such me since. Of all things an episode of Scrubs probably came closest a number of years ago (Anyone who has seen the show probably remembers the "Brendan Fraiser" episode) and I had a lump in my throat in a scene during the first season of After life.

My wife cries at anything remotely sad so she thinks i'm a heartless monster

Dades

The Green Mile (already mentioned) and Shawshank both bring out the emotions in me.

BailMeOut

Finding Neverland.

bigroad

RoboCop the first one.

Oh f*ck you........

It's the only film I cannot rewatch. Imagine: In Japan it was originally released as a double bill with Totoro!!!!

I've just realised, there is a fantastic movie that moved me about 10 years ago (to this month, perhaps)

Kikujiro.



Not the most realistic of situations, but enjoyable nonetheless.

If you liked Gladiator, try Master and Commander. Russel Crowe as a manly leader in another piece of historical fiction. Not quite as tear-jerking, but several scenes are very sad.

ahaha, you've tapped into my machismo. That the movie that used Vaughn-Williams 'fantasia on a theme by thomas tallis' on the soundtrack if I recall, I'm actually excited to see if whatever scene it is used in is as moving as that piece itself...

Flagrantfolly

Gremlins (the first one)
Project X (the 1987 one with Matthew Broderick)
Armageddon

The Raging Bile Duct

Try A Simple Plan. A great little thriller from about twenty years ago with a brilliant turn from Billy Bob Thornton. It's all about men so that might appeal to your machismo.

Manchester in the Sea is about a man struggling to get by in the aftermath of a tragedy. Casey Affleck is outstanding in the lead role. This film stayed with me for days afterwards - as did A Simple Plan

spurious

Loads of old ones.
Madame X
Stella Dallas
Mildred Pierce
